Abstract
We report the case of a 30-year-old pregnant woman with an Arnold-Chia ri malformation, who presented with severe pregnancy-induced hypertens ion at 30 weeks gestation. She was known to have had a difficult trach eal intubation during a previous general anaesthetic. Caesarean sectio n was performed under an incremental epidural anaesthetic block.
